W3-2M9 <br />May 1$, 2003 <br />Page 3 <br />Sammarv of Inuea for Dlacuatlon: <br />1. How do the visual impacts of this revised office building complex compare with those of the <br />previously approved office building (see Exhibit G of April memo to compare footprints of <br />buildings and paridng areas)? <br />2. <br />3. <br />5. <br />6. <br />7. <br />8. <br />9. <br />Is the intensity of use of this site significantly greater than would have been expected with <br />the previously approved medical office use? Do the revisions mitigate such concerns? <br />Under the PUD 2A Agreement the building may not be used for general retail use, but <br />accessory retail uses could occur in up to 20% of the gross floor area of the building. Is <br />Planning Commission comfortable with that same standard, or do the pailcing limitations <br />inherent in the site suggest that ancillary retail use should be further limited? Retail uses <br />require more parking than office uses... <br />Is the requested parking plan supported by data that allows Planning Commission to <br />conclude there will not be a parking shortage once this site is developed as proposed? Staff <br />will attempt to review the gross vs net area requirement with the City’s Traffic Engineer <br />prior to Monday ’s meeting... Access driveways should be posted No Parking to avoid <br />parking congestion. <br />Applicant should be advised to revise the front parking areas to meet the 20 ’ setback <br />requirement. <br />Applicant should address the variety of concerns noted by the City Engineer: <br />Provide drainage calculations, drainage area map and storm sewer calculations <br />Provide evidence that the downstream storm sewer has the capacity to serve the <br />proposed use. <br />• Address potential runoff impacts to the adjoining property to the immediate west <br />• The grade of the access road at the southeast end of the site is still an issue to be <br />resolved... <br />Applicants should be asked to describe what their intent is for the existing retaining walls on <br />the adjacent welding shop site. Applicants should describe how these walls and the wall <br />north of the main entrance drive will be designed or screened to soften their visual impacts as <br />viewed from off-site. <br />The ramifications of driveway connection to the Orono Shopping Center site require further <br />review by staff and City consultants to determine whether this should be iqiproved. An <br />emergency connection has been discussed as an alternate to full access... <br />Does Planning Commission wish any further information regarding traffic generation for <br />this use?
